Weak degeneracy of regular graphs

Abstract

Motivated by the study of greedy algorithms for graph coloring, Bernshteyn and Lee introduced a generalization of graph degeneracy, which is called weak degeneracy. In this paper, we show the lower bound of the weak degeneracy for dd-regular graphs is exactly d/2+1\lfloor d/2\rfloor +1, which is tight. This result refutes the conjecture of Bernshteyn and Lee on this lower bound.
